(PS: 500 monthly pass plus more, thank you for your support!! )

On October 12 of the first year of Gaia, Ouyang Shuo took his personal guards to Beihai County. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoBeihai County has been established for more than half a year, and Ouyang Shuo is the first time to come.

The light boat meanders along the canyon. When I looked up, the rock walls on both sides were steep, and there was nothing but moss, and it was a dead silence. Above the cliff, a skyline is revealed, and the clear blue sky is faintly visible.

The rushing river, lapping against the rock wall, making a rattling sound and splashing water.

Suddenly, there was a sharp turn, and a vertical skyline suddenly stood out in front of me. As the boat sails past the skyline, the sun is shining brightly, and the sky is high and wide. The coastline is clearly visible in the distance, with the sound of rumbling waves and a pair of seabirds flying through the sky, bringing life to life.

The contest between narrow and open, life and death, is so abrupt and harmonious, so that Ouyang Shuo has to sigh at the great power and magic of nature.

At the river, next to the sea, a majestic city stands between heaven and earth, suppressing the Quartet.

Beihai County ordered Gu Xiuwen and Pei Donglai, commander of the Beihai Fleet, to wait at the dock early with a cadre of civil and military officials to welcome Ouyang Shuo's arrival.

The light boat slowly stopped, and Ouyang Shuo, accompanied by his personal guards, stepped off the boat.

"Meet the Prince!" A group of officials bowed.

Ouyang Shuo nodded and said, "You are all ministers of the humerus, and you have contributed a lot to Beihai County to such a scale." Ben Hou came this time, not to show merit, all scattered! ”

"Whoa!" The officials did not dare to slack off, and retired one after another, leaving only Gu Xiuwen and Pei Donglai.

Ouyang Shuo was not in a hurry to enter the city, and said to Gu Pei and the others with a smile: "How is it?" Let's go with Ben Hou! ”

In fact, Gu Xiuwen and Pei Donglai also knew nothing about Ouyang Shuo's intentions.

Last night, the two received an urgent letter from the secretary Lang Bai Nanpu, saying that the prince would come to Beihai County tomorrow morning, but the specific matter was not explained in the urgent letter.

The two had no objection to Ouyang Shuo's proposal, and said in unison: "Oh! ”

The three of them walked along the riverbank towards the sea, and the guards followed from a distance.

Ouyang Shuo looked at Gu Xiuwen as he walked, and asked, "Xiuwen, how is Beihai County doing?" ”

Since the capture of Tianfeng County and other five territories, Ouyang Shuo has canceled the arrangement for the chief officials of the subordinate territories to rush to the base camp every month to report on their work, and instead changed to report on their work once every six months.

Therefore, Ouyang Shuo has not seen his right-hand man for a while.

Gu Xiuwen was stunned, and bowed again: "The ...... of the Emperor and the Marquis of Qi"

"Eh," Ouyang Shuo waved his hand, "This is not a court, so Xiuwen doesn't have to be so restrained." "The reason why Ouyang Shuo didn't rush to the county government was because he didn't want to take it too seriously.

Gu Xiuwen nodded, began to pick out key matters, and reported them to Ouyang Shuo one by one.

At last month's military and political meeting, Ouyang Shuo proposed a large-scale industrial development plan. After the meeting, the secretariat compiled Ouyang Shuo's speech into an official document and distributed it to all affiliated territories.

The chiefs of the subordinate territories understood and began to ponder the unique industrial planning of the territories.

In this regard, Beihai County is at a disadvantage. As the so-called relying on water draft, Beihai County is almost difficult to develop other industries except for fishing and salt industry, and the industrial institutions are very simple.

Needless to say, the salt industry has long reached a bottleneck due to the size of the beach.

The fishing industry is also not optimistic, and fishermen are not only afraid of bad weather, but also afraid of encountering pirates, and are extremely unstable, so they can only fish in the patrol waters of the North Sea Fleet.

It is expected that it will take half a month for Beihai County to be promoted to a third-level county. However, Xishui County has come from behind, and it has been successfully promoted to a third-level county last week.

Although there was a factor of mountain barbarian migration, Gu Xiuwen was still not convinced. As the first subordinate territory of Shanhai Territory, Gu Xiuwen has always regarded Beihai County as the benchmark of the affiliated territory.

In order to catch up with and surpass Lushui County, Gu Xiuwen recently discussed with Pei Donglai to start a military operation to exterminate pirates as soon as possible, increase the population of Beihai County, and promote it as soon as possible; At the same time, it is also for fishermen to go out to sea to fish, clearing the way.

Pei Donglai had this intention for a long time, and the two hit it off.

Somehow, after hitting a wall one after another, the Black Shark pirates actually retreated, and for a long time recently, they did not send reconnaissance ships to monitor the movements in Beihai County.

Gu Xiuwen and Pei Donglai invited Ouyang Shuo together, hoping to approve the military operations of the North Sea Fleet as soon as possible.

Hearing that the two of them were going around and around, or going back to the matter of exterminating the pirates, Ouyang Shuo shook his head amusedly: "You guys, you don't have to sing a double reed in front of Ben Hou. Recently, the war in the interior has indeed had an impact on the suppression of piracy. With the successive capture of Evil Shiling and Zhennan Pass, the war in the interior came to an end. Ben Hou has come here to discuss with you about the extermination of the Black Shark pirates on Yue'er Island. ”

The two were overjoyed when they heard this.

As he spoke, he had come to the beach. The water is exceptionally clear and there is no trash on the beach.

In reality, it has long been difficult to see such a clean beach, and Ouyang Shuo has an urge to go to the sea. He pondered that next time he had time, he could bring Bing'er to the beach to play.

"Xiuwen!" Ouyang Shuo called.

"In!"

"You do one thing for Benhou, build a wooden hut near the beach. Next time I have time, Ben Hou will take Bing'er here for a vacation, so I have a place to stay. Ouyang Shuo commanded.

Although he is a lord, Ouyang Shuo doesn't want to be trapped by military and political affairs all the time, he has to rest when he should rest, and he has to enjoy it when he should enjoy it.

"Whoa!" Gu Xiuwen solemnly responded, and he had already made up his mind in his heart to build the wooden cottage beautifully to ensure that Junhou and the third lady had a comfortable living environment.

"Let's go, go back to the county office." After the addiction, Ouyang Shuo was ready to go home.

************

Beihai County Ya, Council Hall.

Ouyang Shuo silently recited the stele in his heart, and the white stele slowly rose from the floor of the conference hall. On the front of the stele, the three seals of Beihai County are full of Yangwen and brilliance.

He pressed his right hand on the front of the stone plaque and silently recited the attached village, and the system prompt sounded immediately.

"System prompt: Beihai County is a second-level county and has three affiliated village quotas, is it used?"

"Use!"

"System prompt: The Beihai County Village Building Token is a silver-level token, and the Village Construction Token of the affiliated villages will be automatically downgraded by one level and become a black iron-level token, will it be separated immediately?"

"Separation!"

Three black rays of light shot out from the stone tablet and slowly fell on Ouyang Shuo's hand, turning into three black iron-grade village building tokens. Ouyang Shuo took the opportunity to check the properties of the village building token.

[Name]: Village Establishment Order (Black Iron Grade)

[Characteristics]: Increase the attraction rate of displaced people by 25%, increase the attraction rate of special talents by 10%, increase crop yield by 25%, increase the skill proficiency of production residents by 10%, and increase the level of army soldiers by 10%

[Evaluation]: A unique item, not dropped, not tradable.

The characteristics of the black iron level village building token are only half of the gold level, and the grade is much lower. Ouyang Shuo didn't mind, and put the three village building orders into the storage bag, which was better than nothing.

"But the prince wants to establish a dependent territory?" Gu Xiuwen, who was standing on the side, asked.

Ouyang Shuo then remembered that he hadn't explained the matter of the [Fusion Token] to Gu Xiuwen yet, but he was a little embarrassed. He still remembered that Gu Xiuwen had twice asked for instructions on whether to allow Beihai County to establish a dependent territory, but he refused.

"Xiuwen, there is something that Ben Hou wants to tell you." Ouyang Shuo paused for a moment, and then said: "Beihai County still has to concentrate its efforts and take the development of the headquarters as the first priority, so there is no need to build the subordinate territory at the next level. These three village building tokens are of other uses. ”

Gu Xiuwen's face turned pale in an instant, thinking that Ouyang Shuo was dissatisfied with the development of Beihai County, so he did this.

"Weichen is frightened, he has been entrusted by the prince, please punish the prince!" Gu Xiuwen half-knelt on the ground, sincerely afraid.

Ouyang Shuo shook his head, the scholar is not good at this, he has too many thoughts, and he likes to figure it out by himself. If it was Zhao Dexian or Zhao Dewang, he would definitely not be like this, but would directly ask the reason.

"Get up, don't get me wrong. This arrangement is not to be dissatisfied with you, but it is an overall arrangement made according to the overall plan of the territory. Beihai County is close to the sea, and it is necessary to gather and develop, which is the right way. Ouyang Shuo had to explain, and he didn't want this lover to leave anything in his heart.

"Whoa!" Gu Xiuwen's face softened, and he was always relieved in his heart.

It's no wonder that Gu Xiuwen is so nervous, it's really in the recent past that seeing Beihai County being overtaken by Lushui County has made Gu Xiuwen, who has always been competitive, knotted his heart. I found that until now, there are some rumors.

Ouyang Shuo also discovered that Gu Xiuwen's current mentality was a little unbalanced. This kind of thing is difficult for outsiders to persuade; The more persuasion, the more likely it is to deepen the knot, and he can only rely on himself to self-regulate.

Ouyang Shuo, as a lord, naturally can't take sides, whether it is Lushui County, Beihai County, or even Youyi County, the palms and backs of his hands are all meat, and any good development is a good thing.

If the competition between the subordinate territories can be controlled within a controllable range, it is a good thing, and Ouyang Shuo will not interfere. Of course, if the chief official of any of the subordinate territories crossed the line because of competition and did something out of the ordinary, Ouyang Shuo would definitely not be relentless, and he would definitely punish him severely.

With the increase of subordinate territories and the growing strength of subordinate territories, how to balance the allocation of resources and personnel layout among the various territories is a profound art.

The reason why Ouyang Shuo was in a hurry to build the Tianhai Road was to strengthen the centralization of power and strengthen the control of the base camp over the dependent territories, so as not to get out of his own control.

In this regard, Ouyang Shuo is still immature, so he can only take one step, look at one step, and take his time.

In fact, Ouyang Shuo lacked such a teacher to teach him the way of the emperor. Fan Zhongyan and Tian Wenjing are both lacking in this regard, and they are not enough to be teachers. (To be continued.) )
